Not sure when but sometime during the recent cold snap, I believe that money saving ‘expert’ made mention of dehumidifiers.
Seems that worked as just yesterday I decided if the model we have, now, wot, three years old, had a new ‘improved’ version. Guess wot? All sites I visited were sold out of all dehumidifiers. No, I didn’t check too far up that South American river, just the usual UK retail suspects. Quite amazing.
Anyhoo, bored with that so back to the seemingly pointless search for something to watch on TV. Whoa, afternoon and I stumbled into something I’ve only watched a few times but is actually worth yet another look. And that would be? Jesse Stone. Not bad at all with many a memorable throwaway line, good plots and some hauntingly melancholy scenes; as is the theme...

Mac,
If I may ask, what connection does a dehumidifier have to the outside temperature? Unless you have a condensation problem, in which case I would recommend installing either crossflow ventilation or better still, positive pressure ventilation, that goes in the roof space and is controlled by an automatic humidity sensor.
Ripper,
We've been here before my friend. For us, quick and dirty, is a dehumidifier to prevent condensation on the bedroom windows as my little nest of vipers prefers close to zero temps to all other for sleeping. It works and for us, so that'll do.
Mac,
Ah, yes I remember now. I get complaints of much the same thing from daughter. Her husband sleeps with an open window with a fan on the window ledge when the temperature is not far above freezing. At the same time he nicks all the covers. No idea why she wants me to know that.
Ripper,
Fighting for the bed covers is a whole different game but it doesn't involve condensation.
There's always Grandmas old trick of drying the windows then giving them a thin coating of washing-up liquid...
Mac,
Funny you should say that. I'm currently employing the same trick but an improved version. I don't (wish to) know who cleans the loo in your household but here, there's only me to do it, and its an unpleasant job that I've managed to reduce to once a year. I'm not kidding.
I'm just talking about the inside of the bowl here, the outside etc is done regularly. But its a hard water area here and limescale is a problem, it quickly turns into brown staining. So what I do is this:
First give the inside of the bowl a really good clean, making sure there's no limescale left. I think bog brushes are dirty things so use latex mechanic's gloves, toilet gel and scrub with green scotchbrite. Its dried off after a good rinse out and then treated with ceramic coating, the stuff used for car detailing. Spray it on, buff to a polish. The ceramic coating is a water repellent so when you flush, water won't even bead and the bowl is dry. If the water can't stick, neither can limescale or dirt. This ceramic coating is also great for car windows, sprayed on door rubbers it prevents doors from freezing shut, and I also use it on the shower screen, another place where water marks and limescale are a problem. Polishing bathroom tiles and caulking with it also prevents mold.
Well, that's enough from me, I've just realised how boring I am.
Ripper,
Boring? Not at all but sorry I'm late getting back to you; I fell asleep half way through your comment. That would be half way through line three of your comment...
I haven't tried that but may well do. Shower inside glass? I spray with white vinegar, complete other bathroom bodily tasks, shower and rinse the glass. Sure do shift lime scale. Only problem is you really feel like fish and chips after. Spray White vinegar? I don't do advertising but the brand I use leaves me astonished...
